Hello everyone and thanks for the replys. Ok so im learning to love the 6cylinder via everyones comments. Didnt realise it was seen as special. Always be lead to think its a lemon that blows head gaskets. Alloy head on cast block is going to lead to uneven movement. And eats fuel. Regards...

Thanks i.ll have a look about. Yes do like the parts availability compared to other classics. And the prices are favourable too. Always wanted to work on landrover since i was a kid. But logic and mpg lead me to have classic minis. Very different yet very similar as from the same stable of...

Cheers. Thats quite motavating. Hopefully this winter will give me the time to make the old girl prestigious. Not so dignified with no doors or floors! Although the rest is complete and i do have the doors.

Brill. Thanks for the id. On the servo. I own part of a rolls royce!

She been parked for 20 years but thankfully inside so does.have some.good points.

Cheers. Yes using the brake pedal as a clutch pedal is definitely a temporary job. It then made me relise the clutch was in pedal pressed postion. Managed to move it back up into the slave using a spanner as a lever. Im just getting to know the old girl pocking around to see what ive got. Before...

Yes thankyou wasnt going to buy of ebay but its a good quick reference on an evening to see whats about.

Only just got the s11a. First job was get her running which was really easy. Needed a dizzy and cap and leads. All in a box that came with it! Then i fudged a hif48 carb on. Orginal was missing. Side question? What should it have. Any how she started lovely and soon ran clean. ( i had poured...

Yes seen the gaskets listen on ebay. But will it just be the gasket, is this engine prone to head problems? Cheers

Cheers for the heads up on finding an engine. My plan there will be to buy a complete disco. Main reason for change would be that ive never heard anything good about the 6 cylinder. Untill i put this post up then there seams to be lots of love for it. The enigine seams fine other than bubbles...

Cheers for quick response. Yes its got a remote servo. And its a 6cylinder petrol. I presume its orginal engine?!?!

Hello all Just wondering about master cylinders. Got a 1967 series11a lwb with servo. the brake master cylinder clearly has a bigger bore than the clutch. But all the items on ebay are listed as being clutch or brake. Implying they are are same. Also my brake master uses a bigger uninion...

Hi folks thanks for the replys so far. All food for thought. So to answer a few questions and statements. Im not looking for great economy but do want to be able to use it. I love a classic as my daily drive. I only consider it breaking down if i have to get a tow home. Opening the bonnet and...

Just bought the landy as a true barn find as a winter project. She fired up OK after 20years rest but there is plenty of fine bubbles in the water. So suspect head gasket. Which ye I could fix but they are prone to breaking. And I would.like to afford to go past the end of my street. Opinion...

Hi i e got a s11a 109 with the 6 cylinder 2.6 petrol. Would likento know what engines will go in without the need for an adsptor plate. Does a 200 or 300 tdi match. Seams a good budget route as could buy a rooten disco and have all the bits. Also could test drive itnwhci h would be nice...
